Here's the current situation.
I have 10 planets, a pretty good non-pro fleet, and a lot of planets that need taking.

I've been sitting on my HP for around a week and still i have 0 people on my WP. Why is this? Can't be my taxes I got 100,000 people with 10% on there. I can't seem to figure out a good reason.
Also since I have 10 planets, how do I declar Independency? I can't find the option anywhere.
